In Canada, there used to be Residential School. My granny went to one. They were pretty horrific to say the least. There were people, at the time, who thought entering them and reforming from within was what to do.

Of course, in reality, the only morally correct option was abolition and - eventually - that's what happened. They had some other levers to pull on the oppression machine like starlight tours and the 60s scoop and so on, but Residential School had only one morally correct position and it was not "reforming from within"

I'm a little bias short and stout, here is my handle here is my spout

They picked Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as the flick to represent Idris Elba??

Had it on VHS, I thought it was good but I was a little too young to appreciate it properly I think.

Yeah it's way closer to TOS than TNG, which is fine by me! They haven't gone to that well in a while

That's an extra 50 hours a week. Like more than a regular full time job of overtime. No idea how people survive it - they used to by progidious use of uppers like cocaine and amphetamines, but now all these docs aren't allowed that but still have to do the same shitty hours.

And NB doesn't have any fucking doctors and has issues with recruitment, gee I wonder why anyone would want to live on the ass end of the maritimes when you get such great support from admin and health authorities...

All that labor created value squeezed out of thousands of non-citizens considered expendable is exactly how they managed to create the biggest meatpacking plant. Just like how Amazon grows because it also has like a 200% turnover rate in its warehouses.
